sit down and hush...

you know how there are certain tongue twisters that you can say a lot, and before you know it, you're saying words that aren't the same? "sally sells seashells by the seahore" becomes "shally shells sheshells by the sheshore."

well, i had something similar happen in my classroom today. i was preoccupied with packing some things, and like a broken record, i must've said "sit down and hush" about 5 or 6 times. well, the last time i said it, it came out sounding a little different...("shit down and hush" if you're slow on the uptake).

needless to say, we all got a huge laugh out of it. i only hope the school doesn't get phone calls from parents...that's all i need in my last week!
